Ultragauge is here: http://www.ultra-gauge.com/ultragauge/index.htm

Cost, appx $61.

The display looks like this:

DTE is distance to empty. Fuel levl is of course your fuel level remaining.

Full imperial / metric support.

I'm happy because I already have the Ultraguage. :happy0180:

i have the scangauge, with oil temp, intake temp, water temp and volts.. i'd still like more factory gauges like trans temp and oil pressure

The two strips on the side windows when they get dirty.

-the ambient temperature gauge is just off the charts inaccurate. Just yesterday I took a 3 hour drive (charlotte to Raleigh) and the closest the gauge ever got to being correct was 5-6 degrees. For the majority of the trip it was 9-10 degrees off.

Minor details like this make me wonder about the quality of engineering that goes into more important items.

On the cruise control issue, I have the same system in my 2004 corolla S, and its a pain in the ass not very precise when choosing the speed, just tapping it doesn't do anything, you have to hold the thing up or down just to get any speed you choose.

Click the button to tell the car youre thinking about using cruise control. Down to set speed. Brake or pull back to reset. Rinse and repeat. It isn't rocket science.

I'm not a retard I know how to use it I just wish it was a bit more precise one tap for 1 mph up, one tap for 1 mph down.

So, a week in, and my biggest gripes are the cup holder (though, that's a habit thing) and getting out of the thing. Then again, I went from a large 4dr sedan that sat significantly higher and had a million cup holders in easy-to-reach places.

Significantly less drink-trash and I'm learning how to get out without looking silly.

The random play using a USB Flash Drive, it always wants to play the same 15 or so songs in the same order nearly everytime I turn it on. I have to skip through them all till it finally gets a random song. I've got over 2000 songs on the drive, I'd like to hear the majority of them at some point.

i hate there is no center console stash box...

and cup holders...

Even more annoying (and it may just be the iPhone), but when my music starts playing, I get about 2 - 3 seconds of music coming from my phone before the audio system picks it up.

I was driving a 2002 Ford Taurus, so there's not much to even compare to me FR-S, lol. My Taurus smelled like burning when I traded it in, haha. >_<

U can get that recalibrated at the dealer

Actually, it does up it +/- 1 mph per tap. Just depends on where you set it. And, frankly, our spedometers are not perfectly calibrated (mine reads 1 mph fast, according to gps).
